Chapter 1 Operation 'Fugitives'

'Nathan, are you going crazy?' Angela sat on the chair opposite his desk in the Petrelli mansion. 'How long have you planning this?'

Nathan Petrelli, the new US Senator leaned back at his presidential chair. He stared at the picture on the desk. Picture of him, Angela and… Peter. The brother, who betrayed him. He blinked and turned his look to his mother.

'It has to be done, ma!' Nathan said with firm voice. 'Those people are dangerous…'

'Month ago you wanted to have an army of those people!' Angela blinked. 'Now you think that they are dangerous? What changed your plans?'

'You know damn well, who changed them!' Nathan turned his look to the window. 'You send him!'

Angela cleared her throat.

'I had to do that, Nathan! What your father had planed was wrong! You are not God to play with people lives!'

Nathan smiled ironically.

'You sound just like him, ma!'

'Stop talking about your brother in third face!' Angela raised her voice a little.

Claire passed by the door exactly in that moment. She stopped and leaned her head on the wall, next to the half open door of Nathan's office. Him, meaning Peter. What concerned Peter concerned Claire too.

Three weeks after she had lost her bio mom and almost had killed Sylar, Claire was living in the Petrelli mansion. Her dad, not Nathan (she never thought about him as a father), insisted for her to stay in New York with her bio family and to pick a good college. She had turned 18 last week and it was about time.

Claire agreed and now she lived in the Petrelli mansion with her bio father and grandmother. They were like strangers to her. The only person, who matters something to her in that family was Peter. However, he never showed up in the mansion. Nathan vanish him out of their lives and that was final. He tried to forbid her visits to Peter's apartment, but Claire simply had told him to go to hell.

Peter was a mystery for her. He had changed since the first time she saw him. He still smiled at her and it was obvious that he cared about her very much, but there was some side of him that he never showed. There was some shadow in his eyes, which would not allow her in. He had his powers back. Claire knew that. Angela told her one evening not so long ago. He had saved his brother from the burning building. He had scarified his will to save his brother, but Nathan left him alone.

Now, Peter worked as a paramedic and seemed happy with his new life. Only Claire knew that this it was not true. Yeah, he was happy at some point, but she felt that something missing in his life. Something bothered him. The reason she knew that was simple - Claire loves him. It was hard to admit at the beginning, but finally she had admitted to herself. She was in love in her uncle. She never though about that when he was around her. Peter may read her mind and that only would put the barrier between them, between their friendship. Claire was not so stupid to think that Peter loves her more than just a friend does. No, that was her problem and she had to deal with that.

Claire became Peter's ears in the mansion. Sometimes, she left her window opened for him. He flew over couple of times and they had laughed together, without everyone to know that he actually was there. He picked her on her birthday night to spend some time with her. They flew over New York and Claire laughed all the time in his arms. Peter had looked at her strangely.

'Are you happy?' he had asked.

'I am now!' she had answered and looked him deep in his eyes.

She had not seen him since that night. They heard each other on the phone couple of times, but that was it. She felt him strangely distracted. As if, he avoided her. Now, staying in the foyer, with ear plastered on the wall of the Nathan's office, Claire knew that something is about to happen. Something that Peter needed know.

'Yeah, yeah… he is your favorite! Forgive me to talking about your puppy like that, ma!' Claire felt a cold shivers went down to her spine of Nathan's voice.

'Stop with that, Nathan!' Angela snapped. 'I love you both! You are my sons.'

'You love him more! Do not deny it! You were devastated when you thought that he is dead! You hated me!'

Short pause, then Claire heard Angela's voice again.

'He has a heart Nathan!'

'I have one too, ma!' now he sounded sarcastically.

'It doesn't look like that now!' she said and Claire felt that she was about to heard something important. 'You planed to chase people with abilities and put them in the facilities! How humane is that?'

'Oh, my God!' Claire put one trembled hand on her mouth. She didn't understand that she had said that out loud.

Angela and Nathan turned their heads to the door where Claire was. She looked at them and shook her head.

'Claire!' Nathan said with blinked eyes. 'What are you doing here?'

'You… you are a monster!' she whispered. 'How could you do that? You have ability, your mother and your brother too! I have! Does Peter know about that?'

She already knew the answer, so she didn't surprise when Nathan shook his head.

'He don't need to.' Nathan said. 'Don't tell him!'

'He has to know!' Claire lifted her chin.

'I am your father! You owe me respect!'

'I don't owe you anything!' Claire blinked her eyes. 'Peter saved my life; he cared about me when nobody in this family did. I owe him, not you!' Claire turned around and ran through the door.

Angela turned back to Nathan.

'She's going to tell him!'

Nathan crooked his face.

'Of course, she's going to tell him! He is her hero!' Nathan picked up the phone. He waited for a second then said in the receiver. 'Operation 'Fugitives' starts now!'

Angela trembled and fell in the chair.

Claire desperately tried to find Peter. He was not at home and she did not know where his job was. She finally decided to call him. It was a game of luck, because his cell almost never was in him. Therefore, her relief was obvious when she heard his voice in the other side of the phone line.

'Hello?' his voice was tired.

'Peter, it's me!' Claire tried to sound calm. She walked on the street among the crowd so Peter probably could not hear her clearly. She walked in one empty ally and stopped there. 'Can you hear me now?'

'Yes, I can!' he answered her. 'What's wrong?'

'Can I see you?' she answered him instead.

'Sure. Where are you?'

'Near by your apartment. I don't know the name of the street exactly…'

'Okay, stay there! I'm coming!' he said and hung up the phone.

Less than a minute, Claire saw him landing next to her. He still was with his paramedic uniform. Obviously, he had bailed from his job for her.

'What's wrong?' Peter asked her. His face was worried.

'Nathan…' slipped out of her mouth. 'Nathan has a plan to put all people with abilities in special facilities!'

Peter still stood away from her. He didn't reach a hand to touch her. That was strange, Claire thought. He never acted like that until now. He always hugged her for hello and goodbye. She froze.

'Maybe he knew?' Claire thought and Peter looked her strangely. 'Peter, stop reading my mind!' There it was - the crooked smile Claire missed so much those two weeks came back.

'Back to the point!' Peter finally came close with serious face. 'You actually think that Nathan will put all these people in some kind of a prison?'

Claire shook her head.

'I heard his conversation with Angela this morning!'

Peter froze.

'Mom is in too?'

'I don't know, but Peter… You have to stop him! All these people, they're innocent!' she pleaded.

Peter smiled again. Sad this time.

'You know that I will try, Claire. I'm not so strong as before, but I'll try…'

'I'm going with you!'

'Claire!' Peter frowned.

'I'm going with you!' she said firmly and finally Peter shook his head with agreement.

'Okay, our first move it'll be to understand more details about that.' Peter said and rub his chin.

'How we're going to do that?'

Peter smiled.

'From the source!'

Claire frowned.

'You don't actually think...? No, Peter it is too dangerous!'

Peter didn't answered her. He reached his arms and smiled playfully.

'Pop up here, Claire! We need to fly to some places.'

Claire stood still for a while then jumped in his arms. She felt him shivered when she put her hands over his neck. Peter turned to her and their faces were inch apart. She looked down at his lips; he looked at hers, but then Claire quickly turned at the opposite side. She heard his quiet laugh.

'Up, up and away!' he said and made her laugh too.

Both figures disappeared in the clear sky.
